There are some usable, fashionable and cute patterns even for today: "Crocheted Petticoat" (baby dress)
"Ladies Mittens" (woman's fingerless gloves, even with a separate section for the thumb, very nice)

oddities: "Baby's Veil"

I think these are very much worth saving, and it is wonderful these have been archived. This is historical in itself but serves double purpose as many can use the patterns now also which is even better.
